Is society dumbening? I wonder if 50 years ago it was as acceptable to not know who the current vice president is. Now it gets you on the Jay Leno show. Well, good for him, at least he makes fun of these people. This is definitely a time in society that accepts stupidity, but if the people want stupid, let them have it. But I sure don't want to stick around to see where it takes them.

Anyway, things are looking more bleak these days on the job front, but the good news is that I'm making plans. After years of denying the web design field, shunning it away and forever banning it from my list of to dos, I've decided to learn HTML. I'm told it's easy, but the dreamweaver instruction book with have me think otherwise. That book seems convinced that it's easier to learn if I have no idea what it's talking about. What's with the revelation you ask? For years everyone suggested going into web and before they can finish their sentence, I always cut them off to say, "No, I don't want to design websites, I only print." "But Arsineh, the internet is the way of the future, there is such a demand, that's where the money is!" Those are all the reason that turn me off. When you love your job, statements like "that's where the money is" don't mean anything. So I didn't learn. But I did have a revelation. All these plans for moving to Armenia, creating a life for myself in the freelance design world, they are all good and fun, but how do I get there? It's time to accept that designing web is the best solution. I can have clients across the world, it won't matter. I can make better money, sure. Why not... if it get's me to Armenia, what's the harm in wanting more money? So the decision is made. I'll do what it takes, even web design. So if anyone needs a web designer, call me up in a few months, I'll be highly proficient by then... I hope!
